Very nice Raff upper, NepNut.

The first pic with the prominent bottom lip reminds me of a Grouper fish.

Thanks !

this is most sophisticated, the front lower peristome is turned up as if to say I'm so
cool, I don't even need a drink of water right now LOL.

Very nice raff

 

[swords]

I agree! This raff proves a plant doesn't have to be extremely rare species to be a real looker!

How big is this plant overall? Any shots of the whole thing?

 

[NepNut]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I think raff produce some of the coolest looking uppers among nepenthes species.

Raffs are common but this variant is very rare. The whole plant is at least 5-7 ft long now, I'm waiting for it to flower :grin:

Here's a shot of the whole plant... (not for competition)

Holy hot damn that thing is gorgeous and rare. Did you change wattage or spectrum? What kind of lighting do you use?

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

the wattage and spectrum were the same. the lights were just way too old haha. so these are brand new lights. HUGE difference. thanks for the comment!
